Re: Mac Os High Sierra Link
Raingarda Krzynowek
On High sierra only RDP is working. All web connections fail. In the Sophos log viewer (firewall part) I can see the connection accepted, then right after another connection denied on rule 0 reason : Could not associate packet to any connection.
All internal web sites and file shares just hang. The OpenVPN client for Windows works fine. This is a High Sierra vs. OpenVPN issue I think. Maybe RDP works, due to requiring smaller packets than the typical 1400 bytes.
I'd also like to add that I have a sonicwall SSL VPN that I've used before, and connecting from high sierra works just fine. Even http access internally. But I don't know what Sonicwall uses, they have a proprietary VPN client on the app store that I am using. So something that Apple changed isn't compatible with Sophos XG's implementation. Plus you mentioned that your UTM works fine.
I have someone who uses OpenSSL on High Sierra to connect to a different brand firewall with no issue. No issues opening up web interfaces over the VPN. So it is definitely limited to a Sophos thing it appears.
I also opened up a ticket with Sophos and linked this thread in my ticket. So far the only reply I have gotten is links to basic set up guides for SSL VPN and Macs. Hopefully the tech can help me troubleshoot this issue further because it seems to be a little more common than I initially thought.
There is a workaround, i have the same problem with http/https connection to switches from my mac os high sierra. In tunnelblick change the Open ssl version (see picture) and all works without problem, all http https connections ar working.
The connections used to work fine, but recently teamviewer keeps crashing when I try to connect to a remote user, and can't connect anymore, it used to work very well but at some point, it started crashing.
Can you please let me know which version of teamviewer works with high sierra and if I will be able to use teamviewer anymore with high sierra? It looks like the teamviewer team are blocking high sierra for use (at least this is what seems to happen).
We would like to confirm that TeamViewer v15.2 is the latest supported TeamViewer version with macOS High Sierra (10.12). You may check out the announcement - Sunsetting active support of macOS 10.11 and macOS 10.12 and find the available download of TeamViewer v15.2.
I did the Sierra upgrade on a couple of MacPros 4,1 and it has worked excellently, after I did a firmware update patch to get it to read as a MacPro 5,1, so I am very optimistic on doing it again. At the time I did it last year, it appeared that it couldn't be done on the 2008 MacPro. But, after watching a couple of videos, right now it appears I will not have to do a firmware update.
I did my first install of 10.13 last night on a 2012 13" MBP without issue as expected but really have not looks at it yet. I did open a new install of MS Office 2011 which had reports that it was not going to work but so far have seen no issues.
I have had no issues with this installation for the last year. I just booted this same machine from a High Sierra install on an external drive and it is what I'm using at this moment with no apparent issues. Warning I went to install it on an internal SSD and it says it wants to do a firmware update. Since I already did a hack firmware update, I'm afraid to do this yet until I know more about it.
I got the same warning regarding firmware upgrade, I think it refers to upgrading your already installed 5,1 firmware. I needed to re-start 5-6 times before the firmware actually installed. Once finished my Early 2009 Mac Pro is now running High Sierra.
A side note - I am using a Sonnet Technologies Tempo 6Gb/s SATA PCIe 2.0 Drive Card with dual Samsung SSD drives, ORICO USB3.0 4 Port PCI Express to USB3.0 Host Controller Adapter and a AUKEY USB-C PCI Express Card. All of which help keep me up to date.
Had you preformed the 5,1 firmware hack update and installed plain Sierra before going to High Sierra? What did it flash the firmware to? How did you do the download and installation. I was using an external drive with High Sierra already installed on it and my machine was booted from it.. The I looked at installing to a drive bay SSD. I do have a PCIe USB3 card in it right now.
Because of Final Cut Pro X 10.4.1 I needed high sierra. So I just did it. There was a problem with the graphics card (macOS graphic drivers where not recognizing the card and I had to use NVIDIA driver).
I have been running High Sierra on my 3,1 2008 8-core Mac Pro since September 2018, using DosDude1's installation. Has been relatively problem-free, though sometimes feels slower than El Capitan. One fault that took me a while to fix was random logouts for no apparent reason, but I pinned it down to a conflict between my GPU's. I have an unflashed EVGA Nvidia GTX 760 which performs well, and gives me CUDA in Photoshop and After Effects, but when problems do arise it's handy to be able to see the EFI boot screen, which I can't do with the PC Nvidia card, so I left the old ATI Radeon 2600XT installed powering a small monitor. This never caused any problems in El Capitan, but seems to be the cause of the random logouts, as they haven't occurred since I removed it. I installed a later Atheros Wifi card shortly after buying the machine, as the machine came without Wifi, and there have been no problems with High Sierra and WiFi.
DosDudes Patch Updater allows AppStore system updates to run. I ran a security update in November without a hitch, but since running the last update earlier this month the system has been prone to very slow system boots and boot freezes, so I have made a USB installer using the latest download and patches and intend to re-install the system.
Re-install went OK eventually and the machine is much more well behaved, although I have to sort out the fix for the OS not recognising the latest (already installed) Nvidia driver and reverting to the Apple supplied one. Two points people who are having problems installing on unsupported machines should bear in mind - 1 Make sure SIP is disabled before installing, and 2 Do not let the machine automatically boot from the newly installed system without first running the post-install application. If you let the auto-restart proceed it will fail to recognise the system and the disk will not subsequently show up as a startup disk. It means you have to keep an eye on the install and as soon as it completes hold down option and start back up off the installer flash-drive to run the post-install application
currently i have only 3.33 ghz quad core. Although i do have another of the same CPU. I just havent gutten this machine yet to see if it has a built in board for a second CPU. However, lets say i dont even bother with it. I have an Nvidia 970 GTX and 12 GB of ram (currently). Do you think this is sufficient on my Mac Pro with the 5,1 firmware?
